It was originally thought that Nintendo TVii would be included in the system's day one patch to add online features like Miiverse, Wii U Chat and the system's eShop.

Nintendo also noted that video streaming services, including Amazon Instant Video, Hulu Plus and Netflix, will launch on Wii U "in the coming weeks". Netflix responded by confirming that a Netflix app will be available in the Wii U eShop when the system launches and that Nintendo TVii integration will follow later in early 2013.

Nintendo TVii is a feature letting users browse and watch live television, integrate with TiVo DVRs and browse content through various streaming services in a single app.
